French Dispatch, The
horizontal line

[Opens Oct. 29 in theaters.] Stunning visuals dominate Wes Anderson's imaginative, quirky, convoluted, disconnected, sometimes incomprehensible, star-studded (Edward Norton, Angelica Huston, Tilda Swinton, Liev Schreiber, Christopher Waltz, Lois Smith, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Léa Seydoux, Rupert Friend, Mathieu Amalric, Saoirse Ronan, and Henry Winkler), 112-minute film in which a gruff American editor (Bill Murray), who oversees a team of French Dispatch journalists and editorial staff (Frances McDormand, Owen Wilson, Elizabeth Moss, Fisher Stevens, Griffin Dune, Wally Wolodarsky, and Anjelica Bette Fellini), pulls together three unrelated stories including, a psychopathic murdering prisoner (Benicio del Toro) whose abstract painting is coveted by an incarcerated art dealer (Adrien Brody), a chess-playing student protestor (Timothée Chalamet) leading a revolution in May 1968, and a food journalist (Jeffrey Wright) interviewing for a job who ends up penning a piece about a kidnapping while profiling a chef (Stephen Park) and his poisonous radish pie, for a fictional magazine published in the fictional city of Ennui-sur-Blasé.
